Old school Aussie Arvos diy video! Been wanting to do this mod in my 4wd for ages! Hope it gives you guys some ideas! I'd be interested to hear if you guys have portable compressors or on board air!
Cheers
Proper twin system and a tank all the way. For tyres and fires
thats total fkn bs,,that tank is a joke.. try 3 fire extiguishers, bolted under chassis, fill up at servo or a compressor. i have 3 they fill 3.5, 35'' tires. the best system is a power tank..will fill,upto 60 tires. c02. your young,,know nothing.. maybe get educated, watch u.s.vids,,not ausie crap, arb, tjm, ect bs..
Hey mate is this 12 or 24v?
It's also a good idea to run a drain hose to the outside off the vehicle with a tap to drain condensation out of the tank as well Pat. Seeya Rob
??,,that tank is a fkn toy,, try 3 big extiguishers..fills 4 tires. no compressor needed. fill at servo..or,,god forbid,,buy a power tank from u.s. same price as arb bs..twin comp..
@@harrywalker968 Take note of his comments regarding available space onboard the vehicle, and his comments on purchasing a product that suits you. Didn't see any service stations out on those tracks so is it just the one tyre inflation for yourself per trip or do you tow a trailer full of fire extinguishers? Or maybe you could think about a 3 phase rotary screw compressor with diesel 3 phase generator mounted to your roof.
Lol
@@harrywalker968extreme boomer
Great job. One comments, keep the on/off switch next to the air outlet. That will be easer.
Not even 5 seconds in and there's a Delica, good stuff 😀
Love this kind of video. To many CZcams channels when they get tbig forget about the ones that follow that are doing things a lot cheaper. Keep this kind of content going
Another practical, and a do-able DIY project. Great work boys. 👍
Thanks Fatman! Means alot!
Another great DIY episode. You guys are really inspirational to the DIY (& for many parts, the budget) 4WD community. Airing down/up is a real pain, but a recommended must-do when going offroad. And while I think my ARB Portable HO compressor does the job well, like you have pointed out, getting it setup can be tidious. You boys have certainly given me points to ponder. Great work. 👍
Thanks Hammer Rocks! appreicate the comment! glad the video helped! Cheers :)
Fantastic thinking and practical advice. Cheers lads. Your always on to it. Can't wait to see the team together on the tracks again. Go give ya mum a hug. It's really her day after all.
Thanks Jon! Means alot mate!! Hahaha that's it! Cooking breakfast as we speak! Cheers
Looks good. I run 2 x outlets in my drawers for the air. 1 is run through a pressure regulator on the manifold set to 40psi for pumping tyres. That way I don't have to keep checking tyre pressures when filling. The second port is unregulated which is great for cleaning filters and dusting off camp gear.
Love it, i rekcon i'll do this in the future!
Is it just a cheap regulator with a gauge and a dial?
@IamPleura Yep, from Supercheap Auto
Blackridge Air Regulator
You don’t need the manifold, you can plumb the pressure switch/safety relief directly into the tank, saves you a few dollars. I’d also up your pressure and relief to a 150 off/120psi on switch, and a 172psi safety.
Another compressor option is an endless air, they are an engine mounted compressor that performance wise smashes just about every 12v compressor on the market away. It’s a great compressor if your space constrained.
Where did you get the fire pit barrier from
I was thinking their psi was pretty low. My system cuts out at 180 psi and my valve at 200psi with a burst rating on the tank 250
Endless air needs to work off a belt at the front of your engine, it is engine driven like the alternator.
ever heard of power tank,??..maybe look them up.. same price as bs arb twin comp.. i use 3 alloy extinguishers, fills 3.5, 35'' tires, once..fill tanks at servo..max pressure..
@@harrywalker968 that’s alright if you don’t go too far from a servo
In built air compressors are very convenient. They certainly allow you to run multiple systems. Personally I think that portable air compressor systems still have a place.
Definitely still do!
I was actually thinking about onboard air just this week. Now that I know where to buy it locally, it might just be my next mod project! Thanks for another great diy video.
Another simple straightforward video 👍🏻
Another banger fellas, making everything accessible to those who might not have even considered it before! Love it!
Thanks hughesy!!
Thanks for making. Was interested to soo how this is now done. This kit seems great.
Can confirm it's a great system in the flesh! Good thing about that is that if you ever want to install a bigger compressor all the hard work is already done, just connect the wires and an air fitting and you're sorted.
Thanks Harry! That's it!
power tank,,u.s.ebay,,fills 60 tires..no compressor..
This is an awesome video. You helped me so much. Totally changed my mind. I have an F350 with cap on the bed and bed slide. I am going to mount mine next to the bed slide, in the rear of the bed where I never go or use. Initially I was thinking under the truck but, you have me rethinking the install, Thank you so much
Great info. Really like that old school winch.
Before I saw this, I was more or less resigned to the ARB system for a compact installation for our 150 Prado. Having seen this, I have spent the ~500 bucks and picked up this exact system and it works a treat! Shame they didn't send us a sticker for the rear window, though, haha!
Great vid really enjoyed! The AOB kit looks like a really good alternative to the exorbitant prices you see for the arb/tjm compressor kits. Wish I hadve seen this a few weeks ago when I needed a new compressor 😅
THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO AS GREAT WATCHING
I was just making my own on board air system this past week. Yours looks a lot more professional than mine!!
What ever works man! aslong as its safe!
Great vid, very informative. Thanks
Beauty!
I figured the compressor would be inside that compartment to keep it quieter
Been looking at this exact setup
Never had the confidence to pull the trigger 😅
This video Gave me the confidence 🎉to pull the trigger 🤘🏽🤙🙌🏽
Its a great setup! Cheers !
AOB Great gear and good guys 🚙🚙🚙🚙
bloody brilliant!
Boys, great stuff as always.
Thanks Bob!
That is a really awesome setup for the air! I think it would have looked nicer with the compressor also hidden under the panel like the tank. But overall it beats so many other setups in terms of function and looks! I'm half tempted to have something like this in my truck however I don't off-road like you Aussies do lol. My truck is stock and can't do the crazy stuff. Right now I just got a new portable compressor to replace the old handmedown that was at least 25 years old lol. Works for what I need at the moment for topping up tires as they get low.
Awesome video add a 10m retractable reel if you can fit it for the ultimate setup!
Great install video!
I wonder if you could mount that compressor in that pocket area with the tank as well?
Maybe mount a couple vents so it has suitable airflow, make it even quieter inside the vehicle?
Great vid mate
I swear you guys are always releasing videos on the topic im currently thinking about 😂
Hahaha! cheers endless!
The spare tyre makes a very good reservoir.
Running pressure may be only 45psi but burst pressure is way over 100psi
Great video. Great option. I reckon I have the perfect spot for it too. Cheers bud.
Another great video guys, thanks
Thanks Mick!!
Nice setup mate. Safe travels
Thanks craig!
There are two critical parts missing in the system. A check valve and a bleed valve.
Listen to any garage compressor as it shuts off when target pressure is reached.
You always hear a valve bleeding the pressure line between the compressor and the tank.
This is necessary to keep the start up amps of the compressor low, as it doesn't like to start cranking the piston against the back pressure of the tank.
I was thinking of an unloading device too, but it seems this compressor starts under load ok.
Good company! and there are just in Research. Good to support local.
That's it!
And don't forget to add a Klien Air horn kit..👌👌
Here in the states , we dont have anything cool like this. That twin ARB under the hood compressor is what everyone wants. Id rather have your set up any day. The project looked too be a good time too
Hey Patrick, i see you have a zip tie around coiled outlet ine. That line gets hot enough to melt plastic,the length of that line is also to slightly cool the air before it goes in to other lines
Top set up mate 👍
Cheers John!
Can't go wrong with a portable compressor. Thought about Air on board behind the rear seat in my duel cab but they are a fire waiting to happen as they get pretty hot especially in summer. Dont have lockers or horns just for the tyres every few weekends so a portable & servo is enough for me. Just watch the heat in yours being enclosed. Would hate to see something happen to the 80. Keen to see the VHC vidoes coming🤙
Thanks mate! It actually doesn't get too hot suprisingly , but defnitly somthing it watch for, my plan is to have air lockers and air bag assist in the future, so i wanted to invest in an on board air system
go find, 3, empty alloy extinguishers, fit under vehicle, plumb to an outlet,to fill at servo, just reverse connection for tires. i fill my 35,s no probs in 4 mins..neat, quiet, quik..
I have an onboard and a portable, the onboard runs massive air horns, has been on several Utes,it will pump tires .anyway another good job and video
Thanks mate! Yeah horns would be pretty cool 🤣
What size tank do you run with the horn setup and how long can it sound for
Very slick setup. Now you just have to wait around for all your mates to do their tyres with portable compressors haha.
Hahahaha that's it!
I use a 9 litre aluminium tank and the cut in/cut out sensor is mounted on the tank. I think it came with my Boss 12v compressor.
Good install ✔️. But the drain valve should have a hose on the end so to let out the water 💦. Noticed the winch needs some attention 😁. I would cut down on the hoses ,takes up Room But everyone to there own. Keep up the good work you guys 👍✔️✔️
Thanks yeah we would of but we didn't have the right equipment to finish the hoses, but yes you could of definitely done that! And yes, I need to paint the winch motor 😅
@@AussieArvos 🤣👍top show💪
Sweet…that's what my 1986 Pontiac 6000 had 8)
Great video.
Do you think the 6 litre tank would have fitted in LC80 wings or is it snug with 4 litre?
Do you think next pressure switch up at 150psi would make much difference to pump up time?
Great vid. I have a question. You mentioned in one of your older video’s a mate who pre makes front seat floor fire extinguisher holders. Can you send through the website link. I can’t find it. Thank you.
G'day Patrick, I have a 1997 Nk Pajero turbo diesal that I'm wanting to kit up and hopefully run a 12 volt system
If you find that these 12 air comps are a bit too slow and you want to start putting air suspension seats and air bags on the rear and have some air horns you can get a automotive aircon compressor. thers plenty of vids on here to convert one on to a air compressor and it runs off your engine which is more better but more work is involved with setting it up but is a awesome feature to have on any 4wds
With the multi inflate, what is the time comparison in inflating both tyres compared to one at the same time. ?
Surely it wouldn’t be much quicker, just less messing around…. But I’m saying that you have all this extra hose to untangle and hook up.
I’ve been keen to purchase something like this since they come out years ago, but just can’t bring myself to do it.
Nice Video. Is there a reason why you did not mount the tank under the car, bolted to the chasis, with a metal cover to protect it from knocks? Did you mount the switch inside the car for future air lockers? I would have placed the switch next to the air outlet.
I want to do this but mount my air comp under the bonnet to free up space in the back
@AussieArvos how is the compressor going now almost a year later? Has it stood the test of time?
Good video 👍
Have you done a test on tires yet? Be interesting to know how long it takes to fill a tire.
dont bother,,get a power tank from u.s. same price as arb twin comp bs..
Only thing I would do differently is put the manifold on a tank outlet, not between the compressor ans tank, takes away any potential restrictions that may be present in the manifold to aid the compressor.
Couple of things to keep in mind. Or changes you can do. First off, is have an air gauge mounted next to the air chuck on the drawer face. That way you don't need to keep opening the lid to check the gauge. Second, good luck getting to the drain easily. Since you have now buried it underneath, and the only way to access it is to remove the tank. And third, most, air tanks are rated for a max off 100psi. So getting a 145psi safety relieve valve, might not be a good idea. Because if that safety ever fails. You now have a bomb.
Thanks Matt! tanks meant to be rated for 200psi, and i can just fit a cup under it to drain it, but apperently you don't often need to drain them, but i'll keep you updated on that! cheers :)
all pressure tanks, will stand 4 times advertised pressure, as a safety..this is why lifts have 4-8 cables, when 1 is enough.. plus, that tank is a fkn joke, too small,,he needs big alloy extinguishers, [or stainless lpg tank,,] like 3 of them, as i have.. fill at servo, does 4 tires in 2 mins..
should have ran air lines to each wheel!
Could you supply a link or advise where you got the air tank from please
fantastic definitly will be getting this and getting rid of the fire hazard that is my kings thumper
That kings thumper is not really a fire hazard...they're the same basic design. Can put a pressure switch on it and all that
@@mrmotofy the extreme heat it emits when I pump up one tyre says otherwise.
@@jakecarpenter11 That's the Dual cylinder 300L right? There must be something wrong with it
Hi from South Africa!
Quick question on your drawer system... Is 3 drawers overkill for medium length trips? Considering I camp with a normal tent and need to carry a medium size ground tent instead of a rrt.
Thanks again for another mod I'll be installing in the future!
Great..been thinking about this for a while now. I came across a Vevor product "VEVOR 150PSI DC 12V Air Compressor with 6 Litre Tank" sells for a $109 around a 1/4 of the price of the Air On Board equivalent. It looks like I can replace the included compressor with my portable unit if/when the compressor fails too. Might be an option for others too.
Yeah 100% just watch out for duty rate, this air of on board compressor can run indefinitely and doesn't need to cool down, some cheaper compressors require you to let it cool down after a bit of work , but definitely plenty of options out there! Cheers
@@AussieArvos Didn't think of that. Thanks.
Awesome video, you will be @ 100k soon & shipping you 4wds off to America to go next level! -only joking.
I am doing a system with budget bits & including home made rock sliders doubling up as air tanks. It will be interesting to see how much punishment & bendy they can take before they will start to leak.
You might already be aware of Nate from Dirt lifestyle on YT, I think he is in North America/Alaska, he did a series on a popular budget rebranded to death world wide compressor that is available here in AU through the regular suspect & outlets.
Of which I bought both the twin piston & a single piston variant. Nate did a whole lot of mods & improvements to this compressor that was really interesting & is doable with budget tooling. So it maybe the same benefits could be performed on other brands or re brands as a lot of the bits are standardized.
He made his own manifold but if Air on board sells them I might forego the skill practice involved.
I wish I had of know of Air onboard, their gear looks not too bad.
I can't wait to be able to pump up my inflatable flamingo floatie! If I get dual tyre inflator, I will have to go & buy a 2nd flamingo & then I will be over my GVM.
...Just like every one else!
That was a neat install Patrick!
Could you use air-tools? (Effortless tire change)
The tank doesn't catch water. Iif you have an issue with water, get a separator.
Hmmm, what about splitting the outlet and running them under the back seats, one for the left and one for the right. Then you wont need as much hose. Instead of having a long hose from the back?
Classic Warn Hi Mount winch there. Is it worth more than your Toyo?
The idea is not bad at all. But when using that to run lockers it would be very different story. For budget it is good for its purpose. Quick & fast it’s still the ARB twin, again like I said budget speaks. Please extend the gauge away from the manifold, for easier to read. Anyway Great video lads.
arb blow up..chinese crap..i use alloy extinguishers, x 3, fillat servo or with comp. does 35,s in 4 mins..no noise..
Awesome video,
can i ask what water jerry can and what taps your using? been searching for a combination that does not leak from round the taps and where the taps can be done up tight without facing the wrong way.
Cheers
Hi Stackner! i use the POPE ones from bunnings ! they are awesome!! never had an issue with them, you can use them without undoing the tap itself!
@Aussie Arvos awesome. Thanks mate.
LOVE THE VID MAN. off topic but do u think u will ever go a bigger tyre size. im same boat as u with 2" and 33s but it looks small and all my tracks around my place are cut by 35s and 37s. its a touring rig like yours but i still wanna go offraod at times
i rate the 33" , they are legal, they get good fuel ecconomy, they'll do 99% of what i want it to do, did some pretty good wheeling up billy goats in the snow last weekend on the 33", if anything i'd be adding a front locker. like don't get me wrong the car would be sick on 35" but just don't wanna become cop bait, and i want to do a fair bit of touring in this car in the coming years.
The best and cheapest sealer for conecting is house or any paint
great video!!! just a quick question about the tuff terrain inflator, if you hook it up to one wheel does the air instantly start coming out the other wheel nozzle until you plug it on the second wheel? hopefully that makes sense
No it doesn't, they are air tight Chucks so they only let out air when they are connected to something, so it's actually pretty good!
@@AussieArvos thanks legend!
Was going to ask same question 👌
What rear bar with spare wheel holder are you running
Great vid! How do you rate the tuff terrain inflate/deflate? I've been considering buying one. Thanks
Yeah, it's been a great unit so far, had no issues with it. love the quick connect tyre chucks.
Aslong as your happy to carry the hoses it comes with, it's a good unit.
@@AussieArvos perfect thanks for the feedback. Keep up the great videos 🙌
How long does it take to fill 33's? Say from 15psi to 40psi?
From where that switch ? (like OEM style)
To get faster tyre inflation times with a tank, the Schrader valve needs to be removed. A depressed Schrader flows about 2.5-3cfm and when removed from the valve about 30cfm. Airtec and Milton make air chucks where you can inflate with a removed valve core. I've gone 18-38psi into a 315/75R16 in about 17 seconds. (Though that doesn't include the time to unscrew and screw back in the valve)
Thanks for the info!! that's insane! ill look into that! cheers :)
OR, buy a power tank..problem solved..
@@harrywalker968 power tank is decent, though this is twice as fast, yes I've tested it! :)
It depends on the compressor psi too. I've tried a 175psi shop type and that with valve core in will fill the tire in half the time 0-35psi
@@mrmotofy yep, the higher the pressure differential, the better the performance. The ARB twin with its higher 150psi works better with tanks than the higher flowing TJM twin at 120psi
How’s this kit gone for you?
I’ve got a Hilux with minimal space, so was going to go with the smaller single ARB compressor because of size. But I’m in Wdyte so these guys are super close.
Do they do installs as well? Doesn’t say anything on their website.
Cheers
Been going great man! no leaks, no issues! not sure about installs, you'd have to ask :)
Hey mate, great idea! Just a quick question, do you know how much this setup weighs?
did you have breakfast or a sht, or invite a freind, wife,,does weight matter..?????.... look up 4x4 power tank,,arb are sht..
Would this compressor setup off the dual battery alone be able to inflate and use an air jack?
Yep
Don't forget to mention, you can inflate your Blowup dolls on the go!!
Get a Makita 18V compressor (DMP181) and a Makita 18V blower (DAS180) together with a corresponding car-charger (DC18SE) and you are finished (obviously you need a battery, too). Not only don't you have to *build* an air system, you don't have to deal with hose-lenght or storing a muddy hose.
You can carry these tools whereever you want (help out people without having to move your car to them, blowing up a dinghy directly beneeth the water instead of carrying it from the car through the woods to the water etc.). And you have a basis where you can useful expand on, for example a small chainsaw (DUC254).
Not everyone has the same needs as you. Like he's put in air lockers. Can't really use the Makita compressor for that
Pricing for their basic unit is really good
The tank won't help remove humidity once it gets hot, which will happen relativly quickly with such a small tank.
Install a cooler between the tank & compressor, and/or a water seperator after the tank.
Hey @aussiearvo. Can you send a link to the system you installed. Cheers
Here you go! www.aironboard.com.au/store/12-volt-200psi-compressor-and-4-litre-tank-universal-full-system.html
I have the compressor but none of the other bits. Is it possible to buy a tank etc separately?
yep! check out their website
Can I ask where you got the switches that fit the centre console?
Air on board, they do heaps of switches, and can make custom ones to have whatever you want on them
👍
New sticker on the left hand sliding rear windows the we haven't seen before.
The sticker of the car? Yeah I actually got sent them by a guy on Instagram called Straya customs, he drew my car and sent me out the stickers!
I have no idea how much a small tank costs but I reckon you could mod one of those small helium tanks they sell at Big W.
fire extinguishers, alloy,,i use 3 of them, no probs, 4 tires, 35,s. fill at servo, 65psi +
This is why I just bought a M18 Milwaukee inflator. Set and forget
Sloooooooow
👍🏻👍🏻
What app did you use for checking decibels?
Just a app called sound meter
For those that want to muck around with onboard air for very little money and achieve a very competent - $199 for everything you need when they're on sale at BCF/Supercheap - Item No. 605484 - don't pay the rrp of the rydge ryder stuff for $449 as it's still pretty cheap stuff quality wise. The tank and compersor come apart and you have everything you need to remote mount them seperately. Add a retractable mini 8m air hose for around another $50-100 if you're don't want to fuck with randome lenghts of hoses and quick disconnnects and you've got onboard air for sub $300 all inclusive that cranks good flow rate, has a 6l tank and will be very similar to stopping at the servo. Fitted this setup to a budget prado build I did a while back for a laugh and it was outstanding.
Great video. How much did that air system cost?
Thanks John, the kit i used with the 4L air tank, 200PSI compressor, wiring, etc is $476 www.aironboard.com.au/store/12-volt-200psi-compressor-and-4-litre-tank-universal-full-system.html
@@AussieArvos Thank you. I can't wait for the next video.
